New Mowgli

SANTIAGO - Jungle Book relives in Chili and particulary the boy Mowgli.
A child that has been abondoned after his birth, succeeded in surviving for
eleven year due to a pack of stray dogs. He was found in a cave where he had
lived together with the dogs for all these years. A police spokesman said one
of the bitches nourished the boy. After that he stayed alive by plundering
trash cans for food together with the 15 dogs in the southern port Talcuano.
"They were his family", the police spokesman said. When the dogchild, as the
press named him, was discovered, he jumped into the ocean to escape the people.
A policeman jumped after him to save him.
